I created a personality profile for a college soccer coaching job interview. What do you think of the idea?

I love Lance Armstrong’s new Nike spot, filmed on the final climb for Stage 7 of the Tour de France - Station des Rousses.

The video is simple but brilliant!

Got to spend a couple days in Richmond, VA with my nephew Noah. Here’s a few pictures from a day together.

The year is 1913, Woolwich Arsenal move from South London to North London, after then Chairmen Henry Norris’ attempt to merge Fulham and Arsenal into one giant club is rejected by the football league, he realises the potential of having a big London team and moves the Gunners away from the main catchment area of current clubs to North London, right next to Gillespie Road Station, now known as Arsenal Station and thus creating a rivalry with Tottenham Hotspur and the North London Derby.

Well after that little bit of history, let’s get down to the facts of today, Arsenal are still in the title hunt, a win against their biggest rivals will see them remain within 3 points of league leaders Chelsea and go one point ahead of Man United. While a win for Spurs would see them move within a point of Man City and fourth place while consolidating their hold on fifth and Europa League football next year.

I participated in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Regional Goalkeeping Diploma course this past weekend in Nashville, TN. The course is part of the NSCAA Goalkeeping Institute.

The course was held at the Franklin Road Academy and was primarily instructed by Chris Price.

Below are a few pictures I took during the field sessions of the course.
